Bush still trying to get the Democrats to love him. He’s given up on the Republicans.
“Bush still trying to get the Democrats to love him. He’s given up on the Republicans.”
I don’t know. This make McCain seem like less of a Bush 3rd term. It may be a smart move?
Zero leadership from Bush.
How is it that this President can be a hero when it relates to the WOT, yet when it comes to dealing with Democrats, he’s easily intimidated?
A different take:
Bush sees the “extraordinary circumstances” in the Constitution as being something other than a political play, and has more respect for the office and powers of the presidency than that.
No, he isn't. He is just playing the game. He understands that the GOP can ride this horse to victory in November just so long as it remains an issue. Thus, keep it in the news but don't push so much that the 'Rats will cave and then claim that it was them who allowed drilling. If the 'Rats DO allow a vote on drilling, it has to look like they were dragged kicking and screaming and fighting against it tooth and nail so that there is no doubt who REALLY passed the Drill here, drill now bill.
Bush flunked Guerrilla Theatre 101.
